Abdominoplasty Surgery in Turkey
Would you like to finally make your dream of a flat and toned stomach a reality? Then abdominoplasty is the perfect solution for you! This innovative surgical procedure can help you get rid of excess skin and fat tissue in your abdominal area, achieving a dreamy abdominal contour.
Abdominoplasty is particularly suitable for women who suffer from loose skin and unwanted fat tissue due to pregnancy or massive weight loss. Even with diet and intense training, it is often difficult to eliminate these problem areas. However, with abdominoplasty, you can shape your abdominal region to your desired look.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and a horizontal incision is made in the lower abdominal region to remove excess skin and fat tissue. If necessary, the underlying abdominal muscles can also be tightened to address the known issue of rectus diastasis. After the skin is tightened and the navel is brought back to its original position, the wounds are carefully closed.
Although abdominoplasty is a surgery, it is associated with minimal pain. Typically, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for only 1 to 2 nights after the operation to ensure that no complications occur. Afterwards, they need to wear special compression clothing for several weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
So, why wait? Take the first step today and schedule an appointment for your abdominoplasty. We at LUX Clinic in Istanbul are always available to answer your questions and help you realize your dreams of a toned and flat stomach!
Who are the suitable candidates for a tummy tuck?
• When the abdominal skin is loose and sagging
• When there is excess fat and skin in the abdomen
• When the abdominal muscles are loosened and torn
• If you have significant stretch marks on your abdomen, you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck.
Application in Abdominoplasty
At our clinic in Istanbul, the tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
Especially after excess fat in the abdomen and waist area has been removed with the Vaser liposuction method, a longer incision than a cesarean section is made between both groins, and the skin is completely separated from the muscles. Separated and weakened abdominal muscles and umbilical hernias, if present, are corrected.
The anterior abdominal wall is tightened by applying sutures to the abdominal wall membranes (fascia) on the muscle structures and muscles loosened by weight gain and loss. In other words, a tummy tuck is also an operation that stretches the abdomen. The navel is first separated from the upper skin, then it is sewn onto a new navel hole opened from the stretched abdominal skin in the same location.
After removing excess skin, fat, and tears under the old belly button, the skin is stretched and sutured again. At the end of the operation, the patient receives a special corset, and it is recommended to wear this corset for 6-8 weeks.
After the Tummy Tuck Surgery
After the tummy tuck surgery in Istanbul, the patient starts walking 7-8 hours later. They should lie in an upright position with elevated feet on the bed. The sutures will heal in 12 days, and they are self-dissolving.
